This $167,446 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project titled "The HBCU UJIMA Collective: Building Research Capacity at HBCUs Through a Grow Your Own Research Corps Model." The project aims to develop an adaptable "grow your own" model for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to train students, faculty, and staff in research administration and basic scientific research. This will address the need for more qualified research administrators and scientists at HBCUs to enhance their overall research capacity. The project is a collaboration between five HBCU partners - Miles College, Howard University, Morgan State University, Tennessee State University, and Winston-Salem State University. The work will be performed across these HBCU campuses, with the goal of sharing the successful model widely so that other HBCUs can utilize it to advance their own research capabilities. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of September 15, 2024 and a targeted completion date of August 31, 2027.
